home assignment -- Digital or Film
2008-04-25
A, a mania for digital single lens camera, nearly despises all the efforts made by those film camera lovers. "I can never understand why they are happy to waste time on the mere process of the creation of a photo," he said. Several days ago, A talked about his blueprint of the renewal of his digital equipment. Unfortunately, the quick update of digital camera models stuck him in the mud of a common dilemma: an expensive but soon coming one, or a relatively cheap old one which can satisfy his pressing needs?
Amid the battle with film cameras, digital ones, advanced in their amiability, prevail by driving their adversary even to bankruptcy, which in turn leads to a gradual shift in public idea about photography.
In the film age, attitude toward photography was simple. Cameras were luxuries only available to journalists and professional photographers, and few outside people could manage the whole process of photo making. "To what extent should the developer be diluted?" or "How was an underexposed film turned into an adorable photo?" Such questions left those experts greatly revered. Each film was cherished, and each had a greater opportunity to be worshipped as classic.
Digital cameras come with a shining slogan:” Every one can be a photographer!" It is widely accepted that digital products save costs and efforts, guiding every thing, including photo taking, to a more efficient and more economical way. Digital cameras are easy to handle, and photos are quick to review, ready to delete. No sense of guilty falls upon people who are unscrupulous shooter, for they are not extravagant consumers of film. The short business cycle of digital cameras seems to be one of the most obvious barriers, which frustrates their proponents with huge variety of choices.
Is film outdated now? Oddly enough, the answer is no. Two types of persons push film cameras to the very front of fashion, even "iner" than digital devices. Old-school people do not accept digital cameras, because they greatly value the delight of deliberate composition, precise exposure, and the delight of developing. However, there is another concept that the birth of digital cameras expels film cameras to an alienated area where it seems only yuppies, which allures more and more young people advocating "filmism". The pursuit for elegance or eccentricity serves as a paramount incentive that triggers their zeal for purchase of a film camera, yet with no respect to the art of photography and no longing for rudimental knowledge about photography.
Polaroid Corporation has currently declared that they will cease to continue their instant film manufacture. The news has provoked a worldwide petition for the reproduction of the film.
Well-intentioned or not, people today try to revive the film camera industry. It is strange that the so-called irreversible historical tide is brought back with much admiration and appreciation. While people benefit from the convenience provided by advanced technology, they begin now to chew the merits and their sweet memories of the 20th century. Filmists compromise that film cameras will never die out. Even if they cannot grow into full blossom again, they may at least linger with a higher and higher price of film packs, whose aim is to compensate for the loss of film manufacturers and to distinguish true film lovers from the pretenders.

quotation
2008-04-17
"Children and mature people thrive on dull routine, while the adolescent, who has lost the child's capacity for concentration and is without the inner resources of the mature, needs excitement and novelty to stave off boredom."
--Eric Hoffer
诶呀。看似忙碌实则空虚的情况又该怎么办?
